Hats Off To Her Majesty

Yesterday, The Cut asked the question “Should more women cover up in New York's heat for the sake of decorum, or should the Queen loosen up in the summertime?”

I love fashion in all its different shapes and sizes, from the crazy Gaga-style to the more demure, but we could do much worse for style inspiration than HRH. Trends come and go, but dressing like a lady will never go out of style. It’s difficult in this heat, but there’s a lot to be said for owning pieces that fall into the ‘classic, and lady-like’ category. This spread seemed like a good example of how to keep old-style glamour, fresh and modern. It reminds me a little of Blair Wardorf's style...

Dakota Rocks!

I watched Dakota Fanning on Leno last night and I just love her. I've been seeing her everywhere and I know everyone agrees with me that she has astonishing poise and seems wonderfully grounded... But she's also an emerging Style Icon! No question about it...

I was completely uninterested in seeing The Runaways until I saw the trailer, now I can't wait! What could be better about a real story of girls gone wild in the 70's punk rock world?

Whether the movie rocks or not, I have a massive crush on Dakota!

Oh Boy, Obama!

This is absolutely my new favourite site... mrs-o.org follows the fashion of the gorgeous First Lady...

Michelle Obama's style is modern in the best way. She wears current seasons from the best up-and-comers in the fashion world, but she is also elegant, timeless, a lady. In a culture dominated by the Jordan's and the Paris's and the Lindsay's of the world, it's wonderful to see a woman become a real and wonderful role model. It is true that she is famous for being someone's wife, but anyone can see that a First Lady wields enormous power as an individual as well as a couple.

Is she cooler than Abbey Bartlet? Too close to call...

Style Icon: Miroslava Duma

In a recent post there was a photograph of Miroslava Duma, who, until I saw that photo, I had never heard of.

After hours of stalking her on TPF, I am completely and utterly in fashion love with her.

Her smile, her attitude, her hair, her wardrobe, her accessories, herSELF. I am just obsessed. My boyfriend is both concerned and jealous...

I now get dressed in the morning with her in mind - play with proportion, play with the ideas of the smart with the casual, and most of all, BIG SHOES! I'm no expert at heels during the day, but the only way to learn is to practice practice practice!
